The Brain Rangers: 60 Minutes: battlefront therapy for soldiers in Iraq

[omega minimo]

Christianne Ammanpour reports on the Army's Combat Stress Response Team-- psych counselors in combat in Iraq, going to where the soldiers are, providing counseling and anti-depressant drugs. Soldiers after treatment and drugs are sent back to battle. Doctor claims: "The folks who go back, actually do better."

Is the Army and Bushco. administration promoting battlefield mental health services to PREEMPT the insanity that will ensue when soldiers are aware that the reasons they went to war in Iraq were LIES and FALSIFIED INTELLIGENCE?

Soldier describing seeing comrades hit by humvee explosion: "I hear a voice in my head screaming 'I want to go home, this is not fair. We should all go home together.'"

Dear soldiers and families of soldiers-- we agree. We want you home, it is not fair, you should NEVER have been sent to Iraq in the first place. We tried to stop the warmongers who were determined to squander your lives for their private agenda.

Psychiatrist advising soldiers to clean their weapon every night, whether it needs it or night: "For that moment I want your entire world shrunk down to your weapon." AKA MEDITATION!

More Buddhism: tough guy battle leader quoted: "I've found that COMPASSION is the best way to talk to a soldier." As he talked about losing soldiers he cares about, he tears up. "I brought 'em all together and we talked, let it all out. And that's how I dealt with it."

The story ended and a newsman face popped up with a blurb:
"OIL OPENS HIGH TOMORROW at $XX.xx per barrel I'm John Roberts with CBS News."

:scared: :puke:

On a night that most of America will tune in to the Oscars, 60 Minutes showed this story plus a story on Nixon/Howard Hughes/Watergate connection and third piece on Saudi Arabia's anti-terrorism and "militant Islamic extremism."
